Where's the MSM Coverage of the Death of Connell, a Top Bush/Rove/GOP Operative?
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=6772

CBS/AP jumps in with good coverage, McClatchy not so much
And other odds and ends of note...

Yesterday, "Mediabloodhound" Brad Jacobson (an occassional guest contributor to The BRAD BLOG) covered the coverage, noting the curious lack thereof, in the corporate mainstream, of the death of Mike Connell, the longtime top Bush/Rove/McCain IT consultant.

Jacobson's piece concludes:
Connell was allegedly a linchpin in the biggest maze of White House scandal this country's ever seen, yet the national news media is a no-show.

What caused Connell's crash is only one piece of this story. One that, as in many such stories, may or may never be confirmed. Pilot error? Aircraft malfunction? Weather conditions? Foul play? Suicide? Heart attack? A thorough investigation needs to take place. Part of what the media should be doing is making sure that happens.

1. I heard Marc Crispin Miller on Democracy Now talking about this.
The details of the crash sound awfully fishy. And the result is awfully convenient for KKKarl R*ve. Stinks to high heaven. Did Rachel or Keith even cover this? I missed Monday's show and haven't seen tonight's yet.
